Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Egloshayle
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
